To all the control haters about Smash Bros. on the DS.

I've heard a lot of people in various places aroung the internet saying that Smash Bros. could never work on DS due to the lack of analog control. Well, this hands-on demo of Brawl tears apart their argument. Of all three of the guys playing Brawl, they all prefered the Wiimote only control scheme over the Classic Controller. They even pointed out that the Classic Controller scheme was identical to the Gamecube control scheme. The only problem they seemed to have was the odd placement of the shield button.

Now, you may be thinking, "What does this have to do with the DS?". Think about it. Not only was the one control scheme that lacked analog control the best control scheme (according to these guys), but the only problem with they had with it could easily be fixed for the DS with its easier to reach shoulder buttons. All the buttons could easily be mapped to the DS and played with relative ease.

On a slightly unrelated note, it's not like Nintendo is stupid and wouldn't refuse to put one of their most popular franchises on the DS, since it has larger cartriges and more capability for graphics than the N64.

If you guys see something wrong with my argument, or have comments, feel free to tell me.

Any Smash Bros. fan who does NOT want Smash Bros. on the DS is a moron.

I completely agree.



You do notice that those IGN players suck right? right.....

Case and point.

Smash Bros. on the DS would make my day... or year... years.

I've seen some of the boards on IGN... they make me shiver, they're so dumb sometimes.

But yeah, Smash Bros. on DS would be sexy.

I'd even appreciate a souped-up port of SSB for N64.

I've said this many times in the past, and I'll say it again. Want SSB on the DS with online and a ton of characters? Go import (or buy at some Best Buys) Jump Ultimate Stars. It plays exactly the same as smash, but includes the ability to summon support characters and it also has super attacks. And the concept is the same too, except instead of Nintendo characters fighting, its manga characters fighting.

Quite an amazing game, and on GameFAQs its still one of the most active DS boards (the game has been out for a long time, too).

I experience some lag at 4 player battles, in J-Galaxy. So even a sprite-based game can be too much for the DS.
